The wing of a bird and the leg of a horse are very different looking structures. although they look different, bird wings and horse legs are very similar in the arrangement of the bones that make up the limb. which term is used by scientists to describe structures that look different on the outside but are actually similar in construction and develop from the same embryonic tissues?

D) homologous structures

the relative atomic mass of an element is the mass of one atom of that element, relative to 1/12th of the mass of a  1212c atom. to convert to an absolute mass in kg, it is necessary to multiply by  1.661×10−271.661×10−27.

the relative atomic mass is roughly equal to the number of neutrons, plus the number of protons, in the nucleus of the atom.

for elements with more than one stable isotope (different types of nucleus with different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons), the quoted mass is usually the average mass, weighted by the relative abundance of the different isotopes.
